Arsenal responded in the title race, Manchester City kept the pressure on, and Liverpool struck late in a dramatic Matchday 27 that reshaped both ends of the Premier League table.
Arsenal restored breathing room at the top of the table, Manchester City stayed within striking distance, and Liverpool needed a stoppage-time intervention to secure vital points. Relegation candidates also failed to separate themselves.
Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle United
Manchester City edged Newcastle United 2-1 at the Etihad to move within two points of the summit. Nico O’Reilly scored either side of Lewis Hall’s equaliser as Pep Guardiola’s side extended their unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions. City have now won five straight matches and remain firmly in control of their own title trajectory, with a game in hand and a home meeting with Arsenal still to come.
Betting fundamentals – how sports betting really works
Tottenham Hotspurs 1-4 Arsenal
Arsenal answered emphatically on Sunday. A 4-1 north London derby win over Tottenham Hotspur restored their five-point lead. Eberechi Eze struck twice, while Viktor Gyökeres added a brace as Mikel Arteta’s side responded to recent dropped points. Spurs, beaten heavily at home, remain just four points above the relegation zone.
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool
Liverpool required a 97th-minute goal from Alexis Mac Allister to defeat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground. Forest, under Vitor Pereira’s first league match in charge, had looked set for a draw before Virgil van Dijk’s header was parried and Mac Allister converted the rebound. Liverpool climb level on points with Chelsea and Manchester United in the race for the top four.
